Rename the "fullname" profile label

How do I rename the fullname label - I would rather it was called "username".

I would like to change this specifically on the "sign up" page and profile page.

I don't want my users to feel obliged to use their real names at the point of sign up and the "fullname" label is misleading.

Thanks.

Ok, I am still a bit confused about the username vs full name functionality.

If I dont' want users to use full names (as full names are not unique - so it's difficult for search) what are my options with username?

Ultimately I want to be able to do 1 of these 2 solutions:

Option 1

1) How do I enable a unique username

2) How do I display username on the Profile pop up box / profile / edit profile etc

Option 2

How do I enable full name to be unique (as then i can rename it to username via translation)

Thanks.
